[UPDATE 2] A Minecraft film destroyed expectations and obtained $ 157 million in the US for its first weekend and a total of $ 301 million worldwide. That is the biggest weekend of all time for a video game movie, even surpassing Super Mario Bros. That film ended his career with $ 1.3 billion worldwide, so it will be interesting to see how a Minecraft movie accumulates when he completes his theatrical career. The first projections for a Minecraft film said it could win around $ 60 million in the US. For their first weekend, so these results are very in advance of expectations.
“We are absolutely delighted that a Minecraft film has been so hotly received by the public from all over the world and we expand our congratulations to Jared HESS and his film team, Legendary, Vertigo, Mojang and our phenomenal cast directed by Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Emma Myers, Sebastian Hansen, Daniele Brooks and Jennifer Who WHHO WHO helps to make the colleague so that the event is a cool cool event.
After only three days, a Minecraft movie is now the video game movie No. 12 of greatest collection of all time.
[UPDATE] A Minecraft movie obtained $ 57 million in the US. For its first Friday, that is the greatest amount of money for any video game film on its first Friday. It is even higher than the first Friday of the Super Mario Bros. film ($ 54.8 million). However, it is not exactly a fair comparison, since Super Mario Bros’s film opened a Wednesday in 2023.
In any case, Deadline reports that a Minecraft movie could win $ 145 million during its first weekend in the US, counting on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, this would be compared with $ 146.3 million for the movie of the film Super Mario Bros. Friday, Saturday and Sunday combined in 2023. But again, the Super Mario Bros movie. Actually launched on a Wednesday.
Only three previous films in history that opened in April had a Friday larger than a Minecraft film in the United States, they include Avengers: Endgame ($ 157.4 million), Avengers: Infinity War ($ 106.3 million) and Furious 7 ($ 67.4 million).

The original story continues.
The first box office numbers for a Minecraft movie have arrived, with the Warner Bros. video game movie. Bringing $ 10.55 million at the national box office for its Thursday advances.
As a comparison, the Five Night video game film in Freddy’s won $ 10.3 million in the US for its advances, while Super Mario Bros’s film raised $ 26.5 million.
Variety supplied the numbers and added that it is projected that a Minecraft film win between $ 70 million and $ 80 million for its first weekend in the United States. For its part, Warner Bros. is in a more conservative projection of $ 65 million. Some estimates, said Variety, nail a Minecraft movie at $ 90 million for their first weekend.
Another comparison point is Sonic The Hedgehog 3, which won $ 60 million in the US for its first weekend, going to generate $ 236 million in the United States and $ 255 million of international markets for a total of $ 491 million worldwide.
Worldwide, box office estimates suggest that a Minecraft movie could win up to $ 150 million during its first weekend. The film had a production cost of $ 150 million, with many millions and millions more spent in marketing. Despite these strong costs, Variety said a Minecraft film is prepared to become a financial success. This would be good news for Warner Bros., since the recent launches of the company, Mickey 17 and Los Caballeros Alto, failed to meet expectations.
A Minecraft movie starring Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Daniella Brooks, Sebastian Hansen and Emmy Myers. It is directed by Jared HESS by Napoleon Dynamite.

The review of a Gamespot Minecraft movie won the movie a 7/10. The reviewer Chris Hayner said: “While you feel in theaters this weekend, it is time to let your sense of child wonder for a while. I don’t think you regret.”
